Steering Position Sensor Replacement

[OR VietVet]

On my 2005 Z71 I just installed new wheels and tires and the wheels did not have the TPMS sensors on them and every time I start I get that message and I just clear it and it stays out till I do a restart.

In your case: sensor bad or a fault in the system. You have any codes or just the TPMS warning? If I remember right, your Tech 2 should be able to pinpoint. Others will chime in if I am wrong.

Same wheels, same positions, no codes, just had battery disconnected while changing out the steering wheel position sensor.

You made that look too easy! I wouldn't have thought to go the extra steps to completely remove the steering column. You're a pro for sure. So, look at these two sensors, the one on the right is made in China and failed day two. The one on the left is made in Japan. (The one I installed today) So do you suppose the Chinese one was a counterfeit?

Has it been driven to waken the sensors?

And don't like the new forum upgrade....

The one on the right is a Dorman.

Not new sensors. Same old ones. Just had the battery disconnected for a while.

How can you tell? Made in China?

The Dorman icon, the flying V or whatever it's called. Not OE.

EDIT: some Dorman products are guaranteed for life, so you may want to see if you can get a refund.

My advice would be to see if driving it a block or two would do anything. No cost test....
